Anderson and Green (2001) were interested in repression that could be simulated in the laboratory and modeled on retrieval active suppression.They trained participants on simple word pairs.When the participants had mastered a list of forty word pairs (i.e., improved to the point where they could recall all the target words when given the cue word), they were given what Anderson and Green called a "think/no think" procedure.They found that:
A)the participants showed a rebound effect; they recognized more "no think" items in a memory test one week later.
B)there was a lower false memory rate for suppressed items.
C)the suppressed items were recalled much worse than control items.
D)there was a higher false memory rate for suppressed items.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anderson and Green found that the suppressed items were recalled much worse than control items, indicating that retrieval active suppression can lead to repression. Option A is incorrect as there was no mention of a rebound effect in the study. Option B and D are also incorrect as there was no mention of false memory rates in relation to the "think/no think" procedure.
